Cool, It is Windows 2000 which is going on it, but I think it will be the same process.

If you install WindowsXPPRo, when you're starting the install, you get the option to delete the current partition. Do that, which will clear all the disk contents. Then create a new partition. (tis' all in the windows install routine) That will trigger a reformat of the HDD. I think that will do it for you.
